RichText causing increased text bounds for commas and dots

When RichText is enabled, putting commas and dots next to quotation marks will increase the TextBounds.

I am creating a stylized code editor feature for an update to SCP: Roleplay and noticed this issue. I first thought this could be a bug with my code, but when I compared the text of both texts they matched correctly and I could even repro this in a separate place.

You can see that the text looks “blurry” once you put them both together. This is due to the slightly increased spacing that shouldn’t be there.

Hi @MetatableIndex, we reviewed this case. The underlying problem seems to be that we process each rich text “group” as a single entity, so we are not finding the ligature connection between the last " and the , that follows, hence, the spacing is different than non-rich text. This is a design decision at the moment that we do not intend to change. We will consider this as a requirement for the future.
